Ninjavideo.net on Ubuntu Jaunty (and Karmic too!!!!)

These instructions were taken from this thread. (then modified a bit)

Basically we start off by uninstalling the totem-mozilla plugin. Fire up a terminal and type in "sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla" If you're using the vlc plugin uninstall that too (sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-vlc). If you're not sure run it anyway.

Moving on. To get ninjavideo to work you need 2 things, Java and mplayer. Fire up add-remove and install mplayer, mplayer plugin for mozilla, Sun Java 6 runtime and Sun Java 6.0 plugin. Make sure you restart firefox once you're done uninstalling/installing.

There you have it. Fire up ninjavideo and open the applet. Pick a video and stream away!

EDIT: The ninjavideo helper applet got updated. This method no longer works for me.
EDIT: After doing the above steps install 'greasemonkey' and then install this script and you have video!!!!!!

Awesome, I really hope this works. Ninjavideo support was one of the only things keeping me from encouraging Ubuntu as a total replacement OS
